Life and Beyond

Dedicated to my friend Sue

When a friend is gone
We think about life and beyond
How real his laughter still ring clearer
In our memory and ear

When a friend is gone
We think about the joy and fun
The friend bought us
All year round

When a friend is gone
And life goes on,
Transformations of the friend on all of us,
Is simply profound
That he takes us to a higher ground
And that he cheers us on,
Even after he is gone

The friend is only a thought-away,
And he is never gone,
We carry him on
A memory that will never be bygone
